Hi MITS,
[Apologies in advance for the spam!]
Just wanted to let you know about CompCon 2016, a conference for computing/IT students being held at the University of Queensland on 1-3 October, which we think might be of interest to your members. We'd really appreciate if you could pass this information on to them!
We'd also like to offer your members a club member discount code.
Our blurb is as follows - feel free to use or adapt it:
**********************
CompCon is a national conference for students of Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology and related technology disciplines. CompCon is run by students, for students!
CompCon was previously run in 2013 and 2015 with over 100 students from across Australia in attendance!
The conference will be held at The University of Queensland, from 1-3 October 2016.
At CompCon you can explore new areas of the varied and diverse world of computing. You’ll get the opportunity to explore some areas of computer science that you don’t cover in the curriculum, with talks about leading research and workshops introducing you to new programming languages and other interesting technical concepts!
You’ll also get to meet other computing students from around Australia, and network with representatives from prominent Australian and international technology companies.
EARLY BIRD REGISTRATIONS: Tickets are only $20 (with club member discount code) until 2 September!

CompCon is run by CompCon Inc, a charitable non-profit organisation run entirely by students and recent grads. We've run CompCon twice previously - in 2013 at the Australian National University, and in 2015 at UQ.
In addition, we're still looking for sponsors, so if you happen to know any recruiters who might be interested, it'd be great if you could point them at our web page :)
If you've got any further questions, please don't hesitate to email or phone me!
Thanks,
